Need some advice on livestreamer with Wowza streaming server #1095

Open ellegance opened 9 years ago

ellegance commented 9 years ago

I recently dived into livestreamer, and found option to set cookie in request to playlist --http-cookie. AFAIK Wowza server requies "md5" and "e" cookies (some explanation here http://www.wowza.com/forums/content.php?59 methods onHTTPCupertinoEncryptionKeyCreateLive, onHTTPCupertinoEncryptionKeyCreateVOD) and if I'm not confused these both cookies are calculated in flash player. I need advice, is it possible to get these cookies by some manipulations with server? For test you can use http://live.russia.tv/ it uses such flashplayer with Wowza server, but it requires cookies to get stream by livestreamer and it works only for session for limited time. Thanks in advance.

Playlist is accessible even without cookies:

It works without cookies but you use these both parameters md5 && e in http get request. They become invalid after some time, I want to find way how to get them again automatically when they get expired.

And also these md5 and e parameters are wired to IP or smth like session, because I cannot use your's, it gives me forbidden error. So the only solution for now is to open link in browser, get these md5 and e and then provide them to livestreamer.

Write a Livestreamer plugin to get those parameters automatically.

An RTMP stream is also available:

livestreamer "rtmp://vgtrk.cdnvideo.ru/rr2/?auth=vh&cast_id=2961 app=rr2/?auth=vh&cast_id=2961 swfUrl=http://player.rutv.ru/flash3v/player_engine.swf playpath=rtp_r1_hq live=1" best

Thanks a lot, genius solution for rtmp stream. I will try to write plugin to fetch hls stream, you convinced me that it is implementable, because I doubt maybe some strong drm used. By the way, how to check if service allows rtmp stream? user-agent spoof or smth like that?
